Yes, the coveted chimeras do exist, yet unlike the fiction in the minds of “hiring managers.” 10x engineers aren’t robots, they’re usually moody and need pay less than work that doesn’t make them feel like dirty whores. 10x engineers DO NOT DO 10x more work, they are 10x more “productive.” This means … They understand the problem, they don’t rush headlong into make work, they create less problems for themselves (the real engineering overhead), these operate multiple roles with versatility, and often pre-empt problems, especially with humans. Some can work and work and work, and some apparently do nothing until a flurry of action buttons up months of careful planning. Find them? What do you have that they would want? It’s better to find a pretty good engineer who will be reliable and promote their taking initiative.
